Sutter Buttes rise abruptly from the flat agricultural plains of the Sacramento Valley, creating a singular landmark surrounded by the Colusa Basin and Jimeno Basin. This landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, where the Sacramento River and Feather River are joined by the Sutter Bypass and an intricate network of canals like the Cherokee Canal. The transition from the valley floor into the Sierra Nevada foothills is marked by the sprawling Beale Air Force Base and the historic mining towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City.
